Ford S-MAX Zetec 2010 - Ford 6000 CD Radio - Locked - S-Maxer

Hi,

After getting a new battery fitted, we lost the radio code.

After seeing some similar topics, I tried inputting the suggested 'unlock' code & failed.

I'm now on attempt number 7.

Can anyone offer any guidance on how to input the radio code ?

My serial number is M090002.

I got a code of the suggested linked site (www.pumapeople.com) = 6070

What buttons and / or sequence do you have to input the code ?

Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Go to youtube, type in 'how to input ford radio code'

Then stop. Watch the videos repeatedly - MAKE NOTES !

If you continue to input it incorrectly, then eventually the radio will completely lock up.

Hi RobJP....

I've tried holding 1 & 6 to get the serial no. as suggested on the forums.

I think I might be using the wrong serial numbers ? Do you know which numbers to use ?

after holding down 1 & 6, the first set of numbers that appear are :

05-03-07

Do you know if this is the serial number ? Cheers

However, if your serial number is wrong then it will never work. Best to obtain a set of removal tools and pull the radio out to check the serial number is correct. You can try pressing Buttons #2 and #6 together, or sometimes #2 and #5 works, too. But, if you're not certain of the serial number, best to pull the radio out a couple of inches and read the serial number off the white label. No need to disconnect anything, just pull the radio out a little bit.

Edit....................I don't think that radios in 2010 cars use codes at all!

I think you have the wrong serial number.A 2010 Ford will have no code,or one starting with the letter "V".

Next step is to remove the radio to confirm you have the correct serial number.
